The whole concept of mixing Hip Hop & Bluegrass was...interesting. On the other hand when you reserch the history of both, it seems like everything just came full circle. Thanks G2StuCR3W!

THE HISTORY OF THE BANJO:

Ask your average American what type of music they associate the banjo with, and they'll generally list of some form of White folk music: bluegrass, old-time, Pete Seeger-style folk.... However, the banjo is actually a descendent of African musical instruments, and was created in the American and Caribbean colonies by African slaves. It made its way into white music when slaves interacted with white sharecroppers and their music melded.

THE HISTORY OF DIGITAL MUSIC:

The road that leads us from Edison's (a 16 year old with no formal education from a small town - Milan, Ohio) tin-foil cylinder to today's audio DVD is a fascinating avenue crammed with remarkable people, inventions and innovations. Our past accomplishments contribute to what we are today, and signpost the future as a never-ending quest to push the envelope of what is possible in audio.
